All-optical crossbar switching on chip
Abstract:
We demonstrate crossbar all-optical switching (AOS) on an add-drop microring resonator on chip made of periodically poled lithium niobate. Utilizing quantum Zeno blockade (QZB) induced by sum-frequency generation, a signal is switched between the resonator's two output ports by a pump wave. The switching contrast is 3.35 and 8.27 dB, respectively, at the through and drop ports during a quasi-continuous operation and 5.15 and 9.01 dB during a pulsed operation. These results demonstrate a purely parametric approach to optical routing and computing for all-optical information processing.

Semiconductors
Metals such as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), or lead (Pb) have low resistivity and feature conduction bands that are either not fully occupied or overlap with the valence band, making a bandgap non-existent. This allows electrons in the highest energy levels of the valence band to easily transition to the conduction band upon gaining...
